Your Daily Brush: The Sunday-Monday Review to Recommit & Reconnect
Look back and identify your mental hygiene successes and commit to doing them in the week ahead. Remember to include joyful moments to promote your emotional health!
Dear Friends,
Happy Start to the New Week!
Look Back and Savor the Uplifts
I invite you to take a moment to reflect on the past week:
What energized or delighted you?
What brought you peace or a sense of meaning?
Plan for the Week Ahead
What would you like to carry forward into the coming week?
What small actions can support your emotional well-being?
What uplifting moments can you intentionally plan?
To increase the chances of turning good intentions into action, jot down the answers to the above actions in your calendar. Make appointments with yourself in support of your mental hygiene.
Anticipate Challenges and Be Proactive
Are there any potential bottlenecks or stressors ahead?
How might you meet them with calm and clarity?
Reward Yourself for Self-Care
What small reward could you plan for your week of intentional self-care?
Nurture Connection
Who do you want to reach out to in the coming week?
Is there someone you could meet in person to share joy with?
Is there someone at work you appreciate and want to connect with more deeply?
A Micro-Meditation to Start Your Week
Pause for at least 30–60 seconds and look around you and focus on something uplifting or beautiful.
Notice shapes, colors, and patterns and let the sense of peaceful awareness permeate your being.
You can also use the image below as a focal point for your micro-meditation. Notice the contrast between the colors. Notice the lines…and let yourself be absorbed in the present moment as you let all other thoughts fall by the way side for a few moments.
To your health!
